I was told by lots of people that you should give yourself two years after having a baby to get back to you.
I thought I had, early this year when we (finally) stopped breastfeeding and started to have time away I thought that we had it sussed, it’s only recently as we approach the big second birthday that I really feel this is true.

It’s hard to explain how I feel without sounding like a bit of a twat but I am going to try anyway…

feel like I can be that me as well as being a Mum and I have realised that they are not mutually exclusive people.
I can be a Mum and be someone that likes to go out dancing to drum and bass – and drink brandy and cokes.
I can enjoy dinner out with my Husband and revel in alone time, get excited about a lie in and still miss my daughter like crazy.

Some of you are going to be like well duh! but it’s been like a reawakening, I’m back!

(anyone want to coming dancing with me next weekend? I think I have the bug back!)
